Bangladesh banked on a string of partnerships and two fine knocks by Shamsur Rahman and Naeem Islam, as they swept the ODI series 3-0 after chasing 309 in the final over in Fatullah. The four-wicket win matched the 2010 clean sweep at home, which New Zealand lost 4-0. This was also Bangladesh's second successful chase of a target of 300 or above in ODIs.

The home side took full advantage of the new ODI rules that allow only four fielders outside the 30-yard circle during the non Powerplay overs, continually chipping the ball over the infield, and making sure they used the shorter, straight boundaries. New Zealand's 307 for 5 was the highest score at this ground at the innings break, but it wasn't enough in the end. Ross Taylor shored up an inexperienced batting line-up with his eighth hundred, but his efforts went in vain.

Mahmudullah and Nasir added 35 for the sixth wicket before Mahmudullah was given out caught behind in the 48th over, although he wasn't fully convinced and neither were the replays conclusive. A few dot balls afterwards added to the tension among the near-capacity crowd but Nasir released the pressure with a thump over midwicket at the end of the 48th over, bringing down the chase to a run-a-ball.

Nasir kept his nerve, just as he did last year in the deciding fifth ODI against West Indies in which he also guided Bangladesh to a close win. Sohag Gazi completed the win with an upper-cut boundary off the second ball of the last over.

Shamsur Rahman missed out on his maiden century, but his contribution, particularly in the absence of the ill Tamim Iqbal, was valuable. He started off briskly with Ziaur Rahman, as the new opening pair added 50 in the seventh over. Ziaur acted as a pinch-hitter, hammering two sixes and two fours in his 22 before getting out in the eighth over.

But that didn't stop Shamsur from going after the bowlers, hammering Mitchell McClenaghan for two sixes in one over. He and Mominul Haque added another quick 65 runs in 11 overs to maintain the pace of the chase. Mominul, however, fell to a soft dismissal to Anton Devcich, for 32 off 33.

The captain Mushfiqur Rahim however failed to contribute, pulling to Taylor at square-leg for 2. But Naeem made sure there was no collapse as he and Shamsur added 75, at more than five runs an over. Naeem matched Shamsur with his timing, particularly through the off side as reached his fifty off 53 balls. When Shamsur fell in the 35th over, Naeem managed to put together another crucial half-century stand with Nasir Hossain. New Zealand had an opening when Naeem was run out in the 43rd over for 63 off 74 balls, but Nasir and Mahmudullah brought the equation back in Bangladesh's favour.

Earlier it was Taylor's hundred that gave New Zealand much-needed impetus, mainly in the last ten overs. After he had added 130 runs for the fourth wicket with Colin Munro, he made sure he took full advantage of Bangladesh's pace bowling in the slog overs, one of their biggest weaknesses. In the last five overs, Bangladesh conceded 73 runs, after they added just 25 between the 40th and 45th over.

Taylor blasted three sixes and nine fours in his 93-ball unbeaten 107, his second hundred against Bangladesh and his second this year. It was an innings that befitted the only experienced batsman in the line-up, helping the team recover from 101 for 3. Secondly, he let Munro dominate much of their partnership and only cut loose in the end overs. He was severe on anything that was bowled on the stumps, playing his favoured slog-sweep.

Munro forced Mushfiqur to think hard while setting fields. He mixed conventional shots with reverse hits, one of which was a pulled six off Abdur Razzak. Playing his first match on tour, but he showed little signs of difficulty to adjust, as the others in his line-up have shown. He cracked two sixes and seven fours in his 77-ball 85, the sort of innings that one could have been expected from Brendon McCullum, who had left the country to treat his sore back.

The openers Devcich and Tom Latham put on 66 in 13.2 overs before the former fell to a poor shot. Devcich survived a chance in the sixth over when he inside-edged a Sohag Gazi delivery past Mushfiqur. The wicketkeeper made amends when he held on to the edge from Latham, who scored 43.

Bangladesh's bowling was ordinary at times, particularly Sohag Gazi, who was struck for three sixes in a row by Taylor in his last over, and Mashrafe, who conceded 73 off his eight overs.

Despite that, there has been a marked difference in Bangladesh's confidence and body language over the last four weeks. The batsmen have stood up to the challenge of setting up totals and now they have successfully chased a 300-plus total. This win alone should give them more reason to think of themselves as genuine match-winners in one-day cricket.

it was recorded that BANGLADESH is now improve ..... they are now world class...

ICC and other associations will need to recognize that BD is now a well formed International cricketing team, we need to play more on both home and foreign soil.
Years we BD fans have been patiently waiting and so the reward tastes that much better! The team feeling like they can win and put up a genuine challenge is what I appreciate the most! BUT we need to learn from the many mistakes in this game, Mushfiq needs to learn to stop playing a bowler who has is having an off day and take a risk with someone else (like Dhoni does). Today was an off today for Mortaza who otherwise is our star bowler. He kept doing this with Shahadat Hossain and others which frequently leaked excessive runs in the death overs. + lots of work needed in fielding and Powerplay overs. Bring back Anamul slowly but do not pressure him, Shamsur should be given a permanent spot and we need to be patient - he will improve. We should keep Naeem Islam at no. 4 and keep Mahmadullah as a back-up for Shakib.

Apart from winning the series by 3-0, I still feel there is nothing to get away from this. We need to start winning outside of Bangladesh, we need to show good progress in Tests and some of the mistakes in final ODI were really frustrating: dropping catch, missing straightforward stumping chance by captain, letting the ball go through two legs, lazy drive at the boundary without watching the ball and eventually allowing a boundary which should have been a couple only, bowling short pitch/full toss deliveries at the death overs, giving width to invite batters to hit, Not bowling Ziaur Rahman at all and kept trying with expensive bowlers. When you want to show real progress and be counted as good contender for success at every level, you cannot make these silly mistakes. We the fans do not want to see these to be repeated. Let the team work on these and come out as real tigers in next series. For now, congrats to the team and everybody involved.

Unlike the previous one Bangladesh demonstrated lot improvement in this series especially in batting which was a nightmare show in past. But I was disappointed to see BD players still not in their best fitness skill : loose fielding, poor running between the wicket, playing too many shorts did not impress me at all.

But my question towards ICC is that what else the tiger has to proof to get more & more international matches.
Even after organizing 2 successful season of BPL along with the support of world's most amazing fans, our teams are still not eligible to play champion's league.....!!!
And finally for the 1st time in the history of any form of sports a host nation is playing for a spot in the world cup which is going to be played in their own country......!!!

Bangladesh are no more minnows whether we like it or not. I just hope Bangladesh for once gets to play more matches otherwise the ranking table would've looked a lot different then it is currently showing. New Zealand immediately go to Sri Lanka then home series with West Indies and India. What has Bangladesh got? oh another long gap that's what they got. Unlike New Zealand, Bangladesh can fill up grounds even for test matches at an instance. Expect New Zealand home series to have hardly any crowd especially for their test matches coming up.

We are very happy that Bangladesh did very well! If the only T20 gives the same result, it will be great! Besides, I think we should think about future. We need to make sure that our players play more longer version cricket. We need to organize more 4 or 5 days matches' domestic tournament. And it should be more in school cricket. School boys just need to play longer version cricket rather than 50 overs matches. We have seen some overseas tours of under19 and A team. But those were of 50 overs tour. This is not enough. We need tour of 4 or 5 days matches. We need to prove ourselves and show the world what we are worthy of. So, we need to prepare ourselves. My earnest request to BCB, pls organize more longer version cricket tournament. Do not wait for the help of ICC. Our player will do far more better.

Apart from this the main contributor of bangladesh's recent performence BPL should be restructured. Payments issues should be solved 100% & start pplanning very strongly to arrange one BPL session before next T20 world cup. Players like Mominul,Shamshur Rahman, are the result of BPL.

In fact Musfiq,Riad,Nasir,Naeem,Sakib,Tamim got more confidence after 1st BPL( That showed in Asia cup)

Any keen BD cricket follower knows that BD players are capable of playing high level cricket, just require little more consistency, and desired international level umpiring. Now its up to ICC to allocate BD more international matches. It will be sad if this team's progress is being obstructed due to lack of competitive matches.

At the same time, I fully understand the emotional burst of the BD fans, and apologize on behalf of those who misspoke or overexcited with abrasive comments in this site. This is merely a game and the best team ought to win on their day. Win or lose, we the fans should enjoy an exciting game with an open mind. This should be the norm in absence of abusing or insulting another humane being for no reason. Hope we all take note of this mantra, and enjoy the fine game of Cricket wherever that's being played.

@MR.UNSTOPPABLE & other BD haters: we understand your mentality, but ask to be brave to credit BD at its fine achievement. It was norm for any team to beat BD anywhere at any time. That has changed. It used to be that BD would heavily depend on a handful of star players for occasional success. That has changed. It used to be that BD was very unpredictable in building any meaningful scores. That has changed. It used to be that no measurable partnership would form in either batting first or chasing. That has changed. We can go on and on on many positives BD has developed lately. But the fact is: NZ still a S8 team, were beaten soundly in the last two meetings in BD. This fact alone deserves some credit. Yes, we agree with the fine past of NZ. But it's also history that 'The sun never set in the British Empire'. In this changing world, BD has and is moving in the right direction significantly. And it's time for the ICC to notice this and act appropriately for the development of cricket.

I think its a great result for Bangladesh and fully deserved, so I went back through the statistics to see how they have gone over the past 3 years. I was amazed to see only 3 ODI series overseas, 2 of these in Zimbabwe which were both lost. Not wanting to take anything away from Bangladesh result in this series but it needs more overseas wins before claiming to be a top team. Isn't the ICC providing the tours?

Some silly comments here from some obviously dissapointed kiwi fans, just give bandladesh the credit they deserve, they out played us and are a better team than us in their conditions, they proved the first series victory was no fluke by beating us again in this one, hard to swallow maybe but its fact. Mr unstoppable will become mr unpopular rattling off a whole lot of names of former greats that had nothing to do with the current team as some sort of superiority to bangladesh, made me laugh and there are others here who just can't seem to accept we were done by a better side. There will be a review of the tour when they go home to find out what went wrong and there only finding will be is that we arn't that good and bangladesh were the better side.

Bangladesh strategy with the bat really was the difference. Play yourself in and for an over or 2 and your off. No discredit to Taylor but he took 50 balls to play himself in. After 10 overs in the second innings Bangladesh were never really going to lose. Mills the captain kept the pacemen on for far too long and exposed NZs bare spinning cupboard. Sodhi should have been kept on. N McCullum seems to be fruitful only 1 in 5 games if that, he really has done well to play so many games for NZ given his limited abilities.

After 2 losses NZ were content with 300. the push for 350 should have been there. Slowing down after 10 overs really did undo the good start

Bangladesh completely dominant. Congratulations to them but i wouldn't get too carried away. They are superior to NZ, but NZ have been really really bad on this tour. The conditions are just so foreign to NZ, and NZ just never really acclimatized. Nz should be dead keen on a 5 or 7 match ODI series at home for some redemption

Well done to the Bangladesh side, the team has come of age and played an excellent brand of cricket not just on the odd ocaasion but throughout the series. The batsmen have the ability to bat long periods, bat deep into the order while playing with great flamboyance and class. The crowds were passionite in numbers and appreciative of the good cricket that they played. New Zealand on the other hand have gone back two steps once again and this time it is due to a lack of respect for the opposition, a lack of hardwork and a lack of pride. The ODI squad for NZ was a B team compared to the test match side. NZ does not have the depth nor the right to field such a hapless side. Our players should be prepared to fight and win for NZ in every match rather than use the tour to develop players. Fans should not have to put up with watching failed reverse pull shots from debutants. NZ are going into Sri Lanka without their top two players and quite frankly they have already thrown the towel in.

Wow. The cricket world is sure interesting at the moment. Bangladesh sweeping NZ (who in turn had beaten England and SA in their own backyards), and Pakistan are all over South Africa. As a NZ fan, I don't like to see my team lose, but these sorts of results are good for the world game. Congratulations Bangladesh - I hope this encourages the ICC, and the cricketing boards from other countries to grant you more matches. On this showing, you certainly deserve them.

There needs to be a major change of back room staff at Cricket NZ. There's a long standing lethargy within many of the players. I would rather cull out the McMillans of this world, and let these good youngsters come through. The other fact, is that NZ players are paid the same if they win, or they lose. Bring in a performance related pay scheme and you'd soon see things improve.

@goabnb94 , I thought both teams played in the same ground, same pitch with same playing conditions. While those new rules are complete jokes, Bangladesh didn't get any extra advantage as they had more spinners than NZ in the squad. Besides you need to check the scoreboard of the 2nd ODI (I'm not considering the 1st one as that was rain curtailed) where BD defended 247. Too bad chasing on a supposed batting paradise. I know your pride has been hurt. But the sooner you accept the reality the better you be.

All your team needs to do now is win consistantly abroad, not easy but the makings are there. One t20 is all that is left to take away from this tour but who cares about that?

Once upon a time Bangladesh team keep searching for talent .. i can remind very few player playing 2 years continuously , But now its a different scenario ..sakib , tamim , mushfik , mashraffe, razzak are playing together 5 years , expect razzak and mash every one is still too young ...and what about mr. consistent Nasir , riad, gazi , young mominul.

Firstly, thanks to ALLAH for giving us another Banglawash. This is extra-ordinary cricket from the tigers. 2 things greatly impressed me from this series. 1. Mushfiqur Rahim's captaincy. Such a talent, he can handle the pressure situation smartly, that's great and also a very good batsman. 2. Playing as a team, everyone is contributing for the team. We are not only depend on Shakib-Tamim, that is very good for us. . But the kiwis fought very hard. Corey Anderson is a fine player for them and also Jimmy Neesham. Feeling sorry for them. Good luck for the Srilanka tour.
Keep roaring tigers… cheers.

Mr. Unstoppable,
Buddy, I'm sorry to say, "Shame on you." It's not the BD fans but you who needs to get over. Being a great team with such achievements as you mentioned, NZ has gone through 7 straight losses. And, you're still licking the same old bone! You ashamed the great players by naming them in your such poor argument. As if, you're thinking of NZ's All time best Vs BD. Come on, they can't play for you forever!
So, it's better that, you get over. Or, you can continue what you're best at: linking and following bottom of your back. We won't mind.

Very heartening to see Bangladesh emerging as a legitimate contender.

Proud of the way Bdesh show character throughout the team. But as Mash said, we still have many things to work on, make less and less mistake. One big thing to take away from this is that Bdesh is learning to close out games. Last couple of years Bdesh came close and lost several times. That's another step forward.

I'm just a little worried that this "Banglawash" is happening right before another ICC World Cup. We all know what happened last time. And I hope it's avoided.

As a Bangladeshi, I don't just salute the BD team but I salute New Zealand team for playing with extra-ordinary spirits. They've been the most well mannered cricket team in the world and showed us respect as an opposition. Sometimes you'll win, sometimes you may lose and those are all part of the game but they never ceased trying their best. Bangladesh team is coming to the age while New Zealand is in a transitioning phase. You guys have a full packed talented site, looked even better than the current Australian side. You guys lost those matches but won our hearts. Very best of luck in the T20 and the Sri Lanka tour ahead. Warm regards on behalf of the Bangldeshi supporters.

Mushfique wasnt at his best, scoring just 2 runs and misses a stumping chance as well. Mashrafe leaaked too many runs helping NZ to get past 300. Rubel and Razzaq both leaked runs at 6.33 of eco rate where Gazi at 6.70. and yet BD wins!!
This shows BD is a team now.A real team of Tigers.

speaking for NZ, just feel sorry for them.tough matches with tough conditions.BD is just too good for them infront of home fans.

First of all, on behalf of all Bangladeshi around the world, I thank and congratulate the coach who has done the best job in BD coaching history so far. Secondly, when shakib returns Naeem should still be in the team becuz he is looking very promising and I am sure he will improve more and more if given chance. Shamsur is the natural partner for the opener , not anamul whose natural position is middle order. Shamsur and naeem really looking promising and hope they be permanent in the team. Masrafe is getting old and we should look for future and hence work on new pacers like robiul , alamin rather than still holding on the old bird.

If I were to go back into time, say 3-4 years even, and say to the cricketing world that Bangladesh can play like this; No one would believe me. I remember that we used to play with the likes of Alok Kapali, Shovagato Hom, Shariar Nafees, Juhurul Islam, and of coarse the infamous Shahadat Hossain. Each and every one of those players have been replaced by the young and talented cricketers of Bangladesh. Do you think anyone would believe a bangladeshi batsmen getting 181, another getting 200, or a tailender getting a hat-trick and a century. The transition is almost over-night as I look back to the Pakistan tour-Asia cup time period back in 2012. Also, Bangladesh did not feature three players, Shakib, Tamim, and ill even include Mushfiq because face it 2 is not a score to be proud of. Even then we dominated. Imagine this team in full form. I shudder to think what would happen.

congradulation BD (from an INDIAN). I think BCB should focus on bulding the first class cricket infrastructure in the country. Till that is done send your players to other country to play in their domestic cricket. Dont worry to much of FLAT wcket or bouncy track. The infrasture is themost important part. remember Tendulkar/dravid/gavaskar/laxman never played on GRASSY tracKs while they were growing up. Brian Lara (such an wonderful palyer against SPIN) did not get practice on spinning tracks against best of spinners. if you can do that you will automatically produce gems.
Also remain grounded. Many people seems to suggest that BD at this moment in bangladesh can do a similar whitewash against IND/PAK. GUYS IND is no 1 ranked team. there are some reasons for it. No one gave them that rank on a plate. Pakistan has wonderful cricketing talent. Respect your opposition. anyway I hope you improve a lot more in future, since being a cricket FAN i want to see good cricket.

Bangladesh played some fantastic cricket , however , they are still an ordinary side , just like NZ. If India plays Bangladesh 100 times , they'll probably beat them 95 times or more. There is a huge scope of improvement for this side , and few fans saying Bangladesh can reach semi final in 2015 world cup is terribly insane. Still , it's an ever improving side.

from 2000 to 2010, when BD needed to play more first class cricket, improve their infrastructure, organize more cricket, send more A teams to different tests playing countries ICC gave them more INC cricket agaisnt all top countries. The result was very bad as BD did poorly. However, now BD has two first class tournament, they have top alrounder, Mr. cricket and some other fine batsman who are scoring from century to double century. BCB is richer then some other test playing nations. Now ICC needs to give BD more cricket but they are giving them less cricket like they r giving to associate countries. what a irony by ICC!!!!

Mominul is a fantastic finding for BD. I was surprised to see Musfique in his 1st test against England. After a long time I see Mominul probably has the potential to become one of the greatest. He is also very cool & probably can manage to continue. Best of luck Tigers & carry on.

Well played Bangladesh, a good series victory. The NZ side, whilst it has talent in its line-up, it's not firing. NZ cricket has been in the doldrums for some time. There have been glimpses of its potential, but these have been few and far between. It is a side that appears to languish at the lower depths. Bangladesh however appears much more hunger and its successes have been well earned. It is time for NZ Cricket to replace its current coach with the Stephen Fleming. He has a great cricket mind, he's an astute tactical thinker, and his relatively recent retirement from cricket makes him a real prospect for the future. Hard decisions need to be made.

After years of humiliating defeats and bashing, at last we've reached a new age. Really proud of tigers and the way the chased down 307. We've survived rain, defended an average score and finally chased down a handsome total. Couldn't be more complete. The most pleasing thing was how everybody contributed. Tamim, Mushfiq, Shamsur, Gazi, Naeem, Nasir, Mahmudullah, Razzak, Mashrafe, Rubel, Mominul...Wow! Everyone delivered when needed. That's called a team. But we've a long way to go. We need to prepare fast and bouncy wickets so that we can prepare for different condition. Honestly I believe, this series could be completely different if the condition was different. For New Zealand it was a forgettable tour. But they've unearth some good talents in Anderson, Nishaam and others, just like they found Kane Williamson in 2010. As an admirer of New Zealand, my best wishes to them. P.S. I hate the term banglawash. We shouldn't use such derogatory terms. We should show humility.

I think we got some real good batsmen and finishers who can do good even in foreign soil. these sets of players are different. but our lousy fielding, catch miss. not so good captaincy gave away 40 more runs to my understanding........

NZ's Munro's reverse and Taylor's batting was special.

Somehow I was confident Bangladesh would chase this total down. Believe it or not, probably this team could and can change even 350-360 in.

We beat WI/ENG/Sri in their home soil......... way to go.............looking forward to meeting Australia in Perth in the World Cup match...

It takes quality players to chase a 300 plus target in the shorter format. The Tigers have done that with dogged determination even though two of their bigger stars were not playing. This team has proved that it is worthy enough to rank higher. Wish the other teams would play us more often so that our boys would get better and better. Maybe we should risk a tour of Pakistan and then they can come visit us at home. Pakistan is a high quality team and it would do us a world of good playing them.

Feels so good to be a Bangladeshi fan right now. When I was new to Cricinfo, I had to write comments about umpiring errors, about Bangladesh's rare victories, about pitch excuses when trying to defend my team. Now I write about how Bangladesh should have bowled better, and how could they have won with a bigger margin had they held on to their chances.

Bangladesh may not be a world class team but now a competitive one and that's what we have been saying for the last few years. Whether we like it or not they are no more minnows and its a shame right now they are not getting enough games otherwise the team would've easily climbed up the rankings by 2-3 places. Despite beating New Zealand 3-0 they are still ranked ahead of us and they next go to Sri Lanka in a weeks time. What has Bangladesh got? also Bangladesh should be playing 5 match ODI series at home now. 3 is too easy and more one-day series against the likes of South Africa, England and Australia if possible.

This is just the beginning . More and more BANGLAWASHES are coming soon. I think ICC is taking notice of Tigers' winning momentum. Don't we deserve more matches to play and increase our ranking position?? I think New Zealand are already behind us after the Banglawash. We are getting stronger day by day. So beware of us.

As a die-hard BD fan it's difficult for me to comment impartially on a BD match. But I think, it won't be an unfair comment if I say- NZ are a very balanced and talented team, have performed to their potential (except the bad patch of McCullum) but in the end have fallen short of the BD performance.The trick was- BD pulled themselves out of trouble every time they were pressed and succeeded in continuing the pressure on NZ, whenever they created one. You should not take the due credit away from BD in disguise of undermining NZ. Pls. accept the fact that BD have consolidated themselves by now.

I am not happy with the captaincy of mushi this match. he didn't utilize zia even for 1 over. zia is bowling allrounder (now a days we want to make him pinch heater, its ok but its fullish not to take bowling service from zia. he deserved to bowl, as a proof- zim tour). on the other hand when mushi saw nasir was bowling very very wel, why he stopped him al least while his main bowlers were giving so many runs. he could even use naeem. macculam sometime used 8 bowlers. mushi have to think more as a captain. so I think mushi is responsible for such a nz's big score 307. anyway congratulation bd team. go tiger go ............ to win the world.

Well done Bangladesh. Very surprised that the team chased such a score despite big BD players missing. Anderson, Mills, Milne and McClenaghan are very tall fast bowlers.

there is no doubt, banglades is improving is day by day. they are now very good at home condition. need to show the world on away matches how good u r. I think to become top team need to be produced a few world class players who will take the match by himself. bd needs desperately one or two world class bowler. bd has lacking a real turner & a real fast bowler. I remember in srilanka vass,murali,arvindo did fo themr earlier.

In that case Bangladesh may also say that they have no Sakib..... There is another thing the good team will perform in whatever place they play so just no bad excuse like Flat Wicket, typical low-paced wicket etc etc. Those who are Cricket lovers must maintain neutrality about their opinion about Cricket.

These guys are amazing not only for their cricket brain but also great motivator. It was NZ luck that they did not loose a test match. If BD management would prepare right pitch for our spinners we might create a chance in one of the test matches. This is the challenge for BD team to win a precious test match against top 8 in home condition and utilize the condition best way. BCB can hire an expert or adviser like stuart law for suggestions and strategy. i still do not understand why Australia is not taking coaches from their yard like Tom Mody and Stuart Law. These golden age players were not only the best but they also had master brains. i was surprised when i see Australia was hiring a coach from South Africa!

Congrats Bangladesh!!! Now time to improvise on Tests and focus on playing major Test nations like Aus, Eng, SA, Ind. I hardly can see any confrontation between Bangladesh and these teams. New Zealand became a very good team back in late 90s till 2007 because they always played sides like Aus, SA and SL frequently. They never focused more on playing with then weaker teams like WI, ZIM, BD. ICC should look into this and set more cricket for BD with the teams at the top of tables. For NZC- You have some serious tasks ahead. Dont take this tour again as a good tour for practice. Admit it this is your worst defeat Since ZIM defeated NZ in 00-01 2-1. Your players get enough chance to play on sub continent most of the current ones were playing in SL A tour and even B Mac was in India to play CLT20. KW is the only positive in your team. Try making Ross Taylor in charge again, Get rid of Hesson. Taylor gave two major Test victories against AUS and SL whereas B Mac is yet to open his account!!!

The memories of those absolutely disappointing days are still vivid in most of our minds. Those were the days when we used to come back from the stadium or in front of the TV and radio with our heads and shoulders down. And this was a story of everyday. We waited match after match, year after year for a win. There was a time we didn't win anything for 5 straight years. We stopped to dare about winning a match. We even lost to teams like Canada. Our team was bullied by cricket's superpowers. Our cricket was mocked by cricket's superstars. I was angry with them, like all of us. Disappointed with our team. Disgusted with everything. But we suffered all of those in silence and kept filling up the stadium galleries. How far we have come from those days? Many a mile, I would say. How far we have to go from there? We've to go far far away!!! But today we will celebrate in whichever way we want to celebrate. Because we, the Bangladeshis, have earned it.

If Bangladesh cannot get more Test Cricket fine but we deserve to play lots of limited overs Cricket. Bangladesh in 2012 only 9 ODIs and 2013 again 9 ODIs despite beating India, New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka etc nearly a dozen times in that period.

But they were outplayed in all three matches of this series Today also it was a composed chase of a 300+ target by the BD batsmen.

It 7-0 now; great chase by BNG. To all NZ fans, no offense but you need to produce more players like Cairns, Flemming, Crowe, Vettori, Hadlee, Bond, Morrison, Jones, Smith, Reid, Turner, Sutcliffe etc; especially some top class spinners in sub-continent conditions.

KILLING CRICKET !!! flat pitches with new rules !

@Mervo, it's not whether pitches are flat or spicy. It's the variety that counts. We've had two low scoring matches, and one high scoring one. That's perfectly alright in my book.

Well played once more Bangladesh. You're making your nation proud! Impressive again how the whole team pulled through for the win. A shame Shamsur played THAT shot on 96 though. I have a feeling though that this 307 would've been chased down on this pitch by Australia or India even more comfortably though, as their batsmen are better able to pace innings. We definitely need to schedule more matches for Bangladesh so our players can gain more experience.

NZ have been rubbish on this tour and I am a big NZ fan who sticks with the team in the highs and lows. Well done BD. NZ have been so disappointing that I wanted BD to chase the 307 and they did it. Great effort.

Just having a hissy fit here. I will be back supporting NZ tomorrow.

Congratulations Bangladesh on a......... "Bangla walsh " of New Zealand.

What is it with these dead flat wickets on the sub-continent suddenly? Please send the bowlers home. They have no part in these matches. Use the bowling machine and save them all a lot of sweat. This was supposed to be a game for a team, not just batsmen.

Dont think we can win today :(. Gave away too many run. Donno why Mushi didn't use Mominul or Zia. Considering how well Mominul bowled he should have got some over. It'd have done good for us. Really feeling sorry for Samsur. he deserved a 100 :(.

BD has a chance in this match on this particular ground, Fatullah.
But I think BD may lost and it will be only for experience like they are too rush. Nonetheless, Mushfiq has gone, the most experience player and captain. However, it is/was a great chace for BD to the world again that they are tigers how r coming to capture all super 8.

Bangladesh is going to win if they are not less than 230/5 after 40 overs..

bd should not relax. They will get good numbers in ranking if they win 3-0

its chaseable total but questionable captainship not bowling at least ziaur

Poor stuff from Bangladesh. Looks like they weren't even trying on the field and probably don't care and that's not right. Anyway its a dead rubber and series already won :P

Mushfiq's captaincy in this match so far is really poor. He should've opted to bat first in this batting pitch. He had 9 players who can bowl & used only 6 of them. Apart 4m Nasir all the BD bowlers bowled poor line & length in some part of the innings. As Mashrafi conceded too many runs (over 9 per over), Mushy could've used Zia for few overs. Zia seems more economical than Mash in recent months. And Mushy haven't used Mominul for a single over- that's really disappointing! Naeem was another good option to give a breakthrough, but haven't been used for a single ball in this series.

Not only Rubel but the 160+ million supporters of BD team will regret for the dropped chance of Ross Taylor. He is destroying the BD's dream of 3-0 win.

What kind of attitude is this from the BD players? Its as if there is no effort, missed catches, miss fielding repeatedly? This is not how you close a series, I am disappointed, very disappointed at this effort from BD. Might as well just declare this game.

Oh some changes there in the both team. Though it is painful to drop a key player due to injury but we think the match between Bangladesh and Newzealand would be enjoyable. The competition is going on.

Wow. The cricket world is sure interesting at the moment. Bangladesh sweeping NZ (who in turn had beaten England and SA in their own backyards), and Pakistan are all over South Africa. As a NZ fan, I don't like to see my team lose, but these sorts of results are good for the world game. Congratulations Bangladesh - I hope this encourages the ICC, and the cricketing boards from other countries to grant you more matches. On this showing, you certainly deserve them.

If I were to go back into time, say 3-4 years even, and say to the cricketing world that Bangladesh can play like this; No one would believe me. I remember that we used to play with the likes of Alok Kapali, Shovagato Hom, Shariar Nafees, Juhurul Islam, and of coarse the infamous Shahadat Hossain. Each and every one of those players have been replaced by the young and talented cricketers of Bangladesh. Do you think anyone would believe a bangladeshi batsmen getting 181, another getting 200, or a tailender getting a hat-trick and a century. The transition is almost over-night as I look back to the Pakistan tour-Asia cup time period back in 2012. Also, Bangladesh did not feature three players, Shakib, Tamim, and ill even include Mushfiq because face it 2 is not a score to be proud of. Even then we dominated. Imagine this team in full form. I shudder to think what would happen.

The memories of those absolutely disappointing days are still vivid in most of our minds. Those were the days when we used to come back from the stadium or in front of the TV and radio with our heads and shoulders down. And this was a story of everyday. We waited match after match, year after year for a win. There was a time we didn't win anything for 5 straight years. We stopped to dare about winning a match. We even lost to teams like Canada. Our team was bullied by cricket's superpowers. Our cricket was mocked by cricket's superstars. I was angry with them, like all of us. Disappointed with our team. Disgusted with everything. But we suffered all of those in silence and kept filling up the stadium galleries. How far we have come from those days? Many a mile, I would say. How far we have to go from there? We've to go far far away!!! But today we will celebrate in whichever way we want to celebrate. Because we, the Bangladeshis, have earned it.
